Hi,
i saw Unicorn Labs had some apps that let you get a photo from the web, mask off your face area and add graphics to this. I am guessing that they didn't do these apps with corona?
It would be good to be able to do what I suggested above
* load image
* add mask
* capture masked image (with alpha transparecy) as bitmap in memory
it would be also good to be able to save a PNG that could be loaded later (with transparency), but mainly being able to have it in memory is my main feature request
this video demonstrates that specific functionality they are using

It would also be good just to be able to capture a rectangular portion of the screen (or display object). This could be achieved with the functionality above anyway.
Presumably this could be used also for drawing images dynamically in code and caching as a bitmap texture?
thanks
